The wishes of raindrops
led me to you -
a transparent pearl that
glistens on the petal of
a flower
teetering on the edges of
life, a kiss away from
falling
forgetting, forgotten in the folds
of earth
a ***** away from being dug
up, exposed like
a raw nerve. The calcium in
your bones
spread unevenly through
your spine
so that you must stoop
to touch me
I am a lion's tooth -
a flower blown on the whim of
a wish
